Help bring back a tight, responsive steering feel with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end, part number MS90678. This front left outer tie rod end is a direct-fit replacement for the 2018-2022 Hyundai Accent and the 2018-2023 Kia Rio.
The outer tie rod end is the pivoting link between the steering linkage and the steering knuckle. It carries your steering input to the front left wheel while letting that wheel move with the suspension. Over time its ball joint can wear and develop play, which you may feel at the steering wheel.
Signs this part may need replacing: loose or wandering steering, a knock or clunk when turning or driving over rough pavement, excessive play at the wheel, or uneven tire wear. These symptoms can have other causes, so have the steering inspected first. If a worn outer joint is the cause, whether you need a 2018-2023 Kia Rio tie rod end or a 2018-2022 Hyundai Accent tie rod end, MS90678 covers both listed applications. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
